I really wonder if this is cueing up another situation similar to what happened with winxp, and wannacry on the many machines still using it years after support ended. There will be some that move over to win11 with varying degrees of enthusiasm or reluctance, but win10 is going to linger.
With gaming on linux, there's been a "it just works" attitude with enthusiasts for years but that rings hollow to me in a similar way that "it's just like lego" is for self-building your own PC - it ignores the small mountain of paper cut issues and gotchas it's almost inevitable someone will run into especially if you try to do something off the beaten path. Not all of gaming is neatly within the steam short-walled garden or well-behaved even on windows. It's fine if you have the attitude and time to be prepared to tackle those issues, but nowhere near where I'd want to recommend it for even a small proportion of the tens of millions of PC gamers still using win10.
